Positive thoughts on my life.

I said no.....

to a cheeseburger and fries. Winning!! Yesterday I went shopping for a dress to wear to the wedding next month. A long sleeved dress. I tried probably 8 or 9 dresses. We went to 2 stores. I finally found one with long lace sleeves and that netting stuff that you can see through so it's still pretty sexy but you don't have to look at my actual skin. It's knid of form fitting but I can bend in it. It's pretty. At the first store we went to the lady suggested I get something with shorter sleeves and wear a shawl. I told her, "I am not F***ing wearing a shawl. That is not the look I am going for." That girl missed a sale because I was immediately combative and wanted nothing to do with her. She needs to learn about the 50 year old womans mindset. I mean I still have a kid in high school. I joke about how old I will be next year when he graduates......and that I'll need a walker at senior night of the football game....but I'm joking. The last thing I want to do is actually wear a stupid shawl to my son's wedding. blech. At the next store, I found a dress and then as we were going to pay, I eyeballed a sale rack that had cropped black leather jackets on clearance so I grabbed one of those too. Leather and lace equals sass......that's my look. F the shawl. I was feeling pretty goood as I left to drive home but I needed gas so I pulled into a station and got out of the car. OMG. It was right next to a hamburger joint and I was starving. The air smelled like beef.....and it was amazing and I may have started to drool. I made a plan to get one. It seemed rational. So when I got in the car to pulled out of the lot, I turned on the blinker to head to the stupid drive thru and man.....I was all ready tasting that burger. But I looked at my little card I made about being 100% responsible for my life and thankfully I was waiting on a line of cars before I could enter traffic.....and then I thought that eating that hamburger would not be a step in the right direction of where I want to be so I turned left....away from the burger joint and I came home and drank a smoothie instead. I'm thinking that was a championship move.....Like I leaned into my goal like an olympic athlete. I'm feeling pretty good today about that choice and I'm thankful for my mantra. Last night, a friend texted me and said, "this healthy eating is killing me" I have to agree with her......It's not easy.... but it's a lot funner than wearing a damn shawl. Have a great day people!!
